ADA News
AADB meeting to offer session on dental simulation
Orlando, Fla.—The American Association of Dental Boards' annual meeting takes place at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel here Oct. 7-8.
The program features critical updates from AADB representatives to the ADA Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations, the Commission on Dental Accreditation, the Joint Subcommittee on Ethics and Integrity in Dental Education and Practice, and the Council on Dental Education and Licensure.
In light of 2009 ADA House of Delegates actions, a special session at this year's meeting features the advances in dental simulation. In 2009, the House considered Resolution 26S-1, which called for the ADA to study the possibility of developing a new clinical licensure examination that would evaluate clinical competency, ethics and professionalism without the use of human subjects. Resolution 26S-1 was referred to a Board of Trustees workgroup for further study and report to the 2010 House.
Two dental simulation companies, Image Navigation Ltd. and Planmeca, will be on hand Friday, Oct. 8, to discuss the latest advances in simulation software, equipment and techniques. There is a special registration rate of $200 for those attending only the simulation portion of the meeting.
Go to www.dentalboards.org to register and make hotel reservations. Hotel rooms are available at the ADA special rate and can be reserved through the link on AADB's website. The hotel password is AADBORL.

OS X 10.9.2 enabled the ability to block contacts from sending you an iMessage or calling you via FaceTime. Here's how!
The minor update, iOS 7.0.4, comes just as the company releases new versions of its iBooks and iTunes U apps to mesh with the feel of iOS 7.
The latest update brings bug fixes and improvements, and aims to squash a FaceTime bug that's been affecting some customers.
Apple's two digital communication services, iMessage and FaceTime, are down for "some users."
The wireless carrier appears to have quietly begun nationwide support for the videoconferencing app on its cellular network in various states across the country.
With iOS 7 you can use FaceTime to make audio-only calls, instead of adding videos to the mix.
The company's two major communication networks go down for the second time in the same week.
A Texas-based company is claiming that Apple's FaceTime and Messages apps violate one of its patents.
AT&T says it will allow all its tiered-data customers regardless of whether they have 3G or 4G iOS devices to use the FaceTime video chat service over its network. But it's still restricting unlimited-data users.
How do you follow a $368 million judgment in your favor? If you're VirnetX, you go back to the patent litigation well, and this time you target the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini.

Student groups welcomeSee all facilities…
There's a town called Alice and a youth hostel named Beer, which gets it points in the camping 'stakes' right away. And that's even before you know that the hostel is set in a Victorian building in a hidden wooded valley – with the camping available on the old lord of the manor's croquet lawn. I say!
You'll not be surprised that a campsite on the edge of the village of Beer is laden with plenty of, well, beer, with the four-star facilities here including a restaurant pouring local ales, beer and wine as well as dishing up hearty home-cooked meals. You can even sample some local art while you're sampling the foodie fare with the resident exhibition. And, if you're rushing out of a morning to take advantage of all the local area has to offer, the friendly staff here can sort you out with breakfast and a packed lunch to keep you going – as well as give you all the info you need for a topping day out.

Blastoise is really useful in UU and should be kept alive as long as possible to keep dangerous Pokémon like Nidoking and Sandslash from sweeping your team. Wish support is not a bad idea, but is hard to pull off, so if you're really insecure about keeping his HP stable I recommend you use Sleep Talk. The longer Blastoise lasts, the more time your other Pokémon have to find a hole in your opponent's team. You would probably use him like you would use your bulky Water-type in standard play.
Easy to bring in against many UU teams: Gligar, Sandslash and Solrock are just some examples. Use Sleep Talk if you are lacking something to absorb sleep, but beware that the most common sleepers in UU are Grass-types that can put a hurting in Blastoise. It's mostly useful to keep Blastoise alive and to surprise things like Gligar that try to set up on you while you're sleeping.
If you don't want Sleep Talk, you can use Rapid Spin if you're afraid of Spikes. Rapid Spinning against Substitute Qwilfish is not a good idea, so it's a better idea to bring in something to take care of Qwilfish first, and get rid of the Spikes later. Toxic ruins a Lanturn that doesn't carry Rest, as well as several other Waters and Electrics that tend to come in on Blastoise.
Other Options
Mirror Coat will kill Manectric, Lanturn, Electabuzz and anything else that sends a Thunderbolt at you. The only way it will catch Jolteon is if you also have Earthquake, otherwise it'll just Substitute. Counter works well if Fearow, Tauros or some other physical attacker is trying to take you on one on one, however you're better off using Surf or Ice Beam against all these Rocks and Grounds in UU.
Hydro Pump is a more powerful alternative to Surf, but 80% accuracy is less than ideal. Earthquake hits aforementioned Electrics, but not very hard because Blastoise's Attack is average at best, and you probably don't want to stack it to keep your physical walling ability. Hidden Power Electric puts a dent in Mantine; Hidden Power Grass helps against Quagsire, but won't really come handy most of the time. Blastoise can Substitute and Focus Punch but it's not useful at all in UU.
Haze and Roar work against Baton Passers and against Reversal / Flail Pokémon to an extent, but is not recommended in UU. Protect keeps Solrock from opening a hole in your team with Explosion and can work in conjunction with Counter or Mirror Coat to check what your opponent can do. Yawn is a fun move: lay down some Spikes beforehand for better results. Toxic is always fun to toy around with, you will be able to poison other Water types, and the standard Electric switches aren't fond of it either.
Blastoise needs max HP with plenty of Defense EVs. A Bold nature would help too. Blastoise tend to run around 200 Speed nowadays to get the first strike on Solrock and company before they Explode, and it's always nice to outrun those Sunnybeaming Grasses you will see in UU.
Checks and Counters
Lanturn resists Surf and hits hard with STAB Electric attacks. Muk's high Special Defense makes it an easy switch in against non-Earthquake versions; Clefable and Slowking also give him trouble. Poliwrath is especially dangerous, because it has Water Absorb, and can Belly Drum on you, unless you have something strange like Hidden Power Grass, or use Roar / Haze.

I am not concerned with an end--I see a new beginning. Ever since Maria's involvement with Tarpischev in winning the Sochi bid, I have expected (among other businesses Yuri S has been working on the last few years) Sochi may see the advent of a Sharapova Tennis Academy. If so, that will come off in the context of the global investments, so the big picture must be examined.
"Maria Sharapova is set to consolidate her position as the world's highest-paid female athlete after agreeing a three-year sponsorship deal with Samsung.
The agreement with the Korean electronics giant was activated on April 1 and initially covers Sharapova's native Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, with a view to expanding to become a global deal next year. "Maria really hasn't been marketed that much in Russia," Sharapova's agent at IMG Worldwide, Max Eisenbud, told Bloomberg. "It's important to her because that's where her roots are. I also felt that was a really untapped market, with the 2014 Sochi Olympics coming up."
The Sochi site http://www.sochi2014.com/en/team/partners/ lists Samsung among the usual multicorps suspects, plus Russian national capital, Rosneft, Aeroflot, etc. A partner curiously omitted is the state energy cartel Gazprom, who moved into the breach when the banks proved too encumbered with the Western financial crisis. See http://www.na-businesspr...om/jmpp/ostapenkoweb.pdf .
Also substantial sovereign investments solicited from the Peoples Republic of China. Wonder whether, alongside Russian company M-Industria and the UAE's Allied Business Consultants' $6 billion manmade island in the Black Sea, one might find Qatari partners of French Total? Hey, why should any of the major contemporary players be absent?
We need to locate a Sochi 2014 investment "map".

One of the impressive stadions "the Iceberg"...
SOCHI, February 3 (R-Sport) - The International Ski Federation is confident in Russia's ability to be ready for Olympic cross-country skiing in Sochi next year, an FIS spokesman told R-Sport on Sunday.
The Laura biathlon and cross-country complex in the mountains above Sochi hosted its first cross-country World Cup round on the weekend, a key test event before Olympic competition in February next year.
"We are confident that the organizing committee has been doing everything possible to be ready for the Olympic Games and you can see here that there are huge resources on the organization and on the construction part, so yes, we believe that everything will be 100 percent ready for the Olympics this year," said Michael Lamplot, spokesman for FIS' cross-country operations.
Sochi 2014 will be the first Winter Olympics to take place in Russia and will run from February 7 through 23 next year.
SOCHI, February 3 (R-Sport) - Russia won the men's cross-country World Cup team sprint in Sochi on Sunday, skiing to victory by an imperious margin.
The second-placed Swedish team was a full 18.4 seconds behind Russia's Maxim Vylegzhanin and Dmitry Japarov, with Germany 2.1 seconds further adrift in third.
"Thank you very much to Maxim, he did a great job for us and at the end it was an easy victory," Japarov said in televised comments.
"I hope that next year, we can repeat the victory again," Vylegzhanin said, referring to the Winter Olympics, which will be held in Sochi next year.
Russia's second team was fourth, ahead of Norway and Kazakhstan.
Earlier Sunday, Finland won the women's team sprint.
On Saturday, Norway's Kristin Stormer Steira won the women's distance race, with Swiss skier Dario Cologna victorious in the men's event. Friday's individual sprints saw wins for Kikkan Randall of the United States and Norway's Petter Northug.
The Sochi round of the World Cup was the first major cross-country test event at the Laura cross-country and biathlon complex, the future Olympic venue.
President of the Russian Olympic Committee Alexander Zhukov (RIA Novosti / Vitaliy Belousov)Russia will be aiming to win 15 gold medals at the Sochi 2014 Winter Games, says the country's Olympic Committee President Aleksandr Zhukov, which should be enough to finish top of the medal table.The Russian Olympians are traditionally strong in winter sports and will try to make amends for their Vancouver 2010 'blunder', where they managed to earn just three gold medals and finished at a historically low 11th place in the medal table."It is possible to perform well and take first place in the team table at the Sochi Olympics," the R-Sport agency quotes Zhukov as saying. "At the Games about 15 golds will be needed, that should be enough."According to Zhukov, if positive dynamics in winter sports results continue then Russia could count on "40 to 45 medals in total and 14 to 15 gold". The final target will be set in the spring after the winter season concludes.Three years ago host nation Canada topped the medal table with 14 gold medals leaving main rivals Germany and the United States far behind.
367 days are left until the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games in Russia. In the run-up to this major sports event, an Olympic Countdown Clock has been set up in Russia's Rostov-on-Don. On February 7, similar clocks will be brought to seven other big Russian cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Pyatigorsk and Khabarovsk to start Olympic countdown a year in advance.
On February 7, 2013 Sochi will start running special test competitions to try Olympic tracks and athletes alike.

The organizing committee recommends to hurry up as a sold-out is very likely.
Feb 7, 2013
At a subsequent meeting with officials in Sochi, President Vladimir Putin looked into the progress of preparations for the Sochi Olympics and Paralympics. He also spoke about the unifying role played by the Sochi vision in the five and a half years since Russia was awarded the right to host the 2014 Winter Games:
"We have worked very hard in order to accomplish the Olympic preparations on time. Now, we are one hundred percent confident that they will be accomplished on time and with top-notch quality in all aspects. All of Sochi's sporting venues are ready for hosting test competitions. Those that have already hosted tournaments have won unanimous international praise".
The Russian leader inspected the Olympic Park, ice arenas and the Olympic media center. He pointed out that the coastal venues are within 30 minutes' travel of the mountain ones, which makes Sochi at least 4 times more compact than the host city of any other Olympics.
And this is what chief Russian Sochi organizer Dmitry Chernyshenko had to say:
"The 40 or so test tournaments to be held this year will convince the world that new Russia is a dynamic modern country, and its 2014 Winter Olympics will be the most innovative in history. The organizers will make sure that they are ready for playing hosts to the Olympians".
President Putin instructed officials to use the infrastructure built for the Sochi Olympics for facilitating economic development in entire southern Russia in subsequent decades. After the Olympics, Sochi itself must remain a world-class hub of winter sports and a year-round tourist attraction.
WASHINGTON, February 8 (By Maria Young for RIA Novosti) Tickets haven't even gone on sale in America yet for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, set to begin in Sochi, Russia a year from now, on Feb. 7, 2014, but already ticket sellers predict the biggest crowd-pleasing events will sell out "sooner rather than later."
"The most popular events from a US standpoint typically are hockey, figure skating, downhill, some of the newer boarding and skiing events, and those obviously will sell out," said Mike Kontos, a spokesman for CoSport, the authorized ticket reseller in the United States and six other countries for the 2014 Winter Games, in an interview with RIA Novosti.
"Olympic tickets will always appeal to people because it's one of those once in a lifetime trips, something to do at least once," he added.
Russia began selling Olympic tickets to Russian citizens and foreigners living in Russia on Thursday.
Tickets for the general public are divided among the competing nations and offered through each nation's national Olympic committees, which make them available through authorized ticket resellers (ATRs).
In the US, tickets go on sale Monday, February 11 at noon ET (1700 GMT) at CoSport.com, with prices for individual events starting at $22.
The way Kontos described it, scores of people from across the US will be sitting in front of their computer screens eagerly watching the clock so they can get their requests in as soon as the window opens.
"We encourage fans to log on, build an account and register ahead of time, so that way when sales go live on Monday, they will already have an account ready and they can start choosing, but it is first come, first served," he said.
Although CoSport is the only ATR in the US, several online travel sites promise to offer Olympic tickets and packages that include guides, tours, and airfare as soon as tickets become available.
"When purchasing your 2014 Olympics tickets, be sure to look for tickets sold by authorized retailers… ensuring that you are not supporting any unfair or questionable practices, or getting ripped off," advised the travel site Destination360.
But Destination360 also suggested visitors could pre-book packages from prominent travel agencies and tour operators with perks that include guided tours of Sochi and the Black Sea area.
"As the pinnacle of athletic ability, with the deepest and most historic roots in sports, the Olympic Games serve as entertainment and inspiration across the globe. Premiere Sports Travel has the Winter Games packages you need to support your country and favorite athletes," said Premiere Sports Travel, which organizes trips to sporting events all over the world.
"Those packages are not available yet, we're not exactly sure when they will be, but we have a lot of people waiting," said a customer service representative who answered the phone there.
StubHub, an online site that facilitates ticket sales and purchases between fans, told RIA Novosti, "We have no plans to allow ticket resales for next year's Olympic games," due to International Olympic Committee regulations.
Americans travelling to Russia need to obtain visas in order to enter the country. But in the past, most host countries have worked to make the process easy for Olympic visitors, Kontos said.
In Beijing, which hosted the Summer Olympics in 2008, Kontos said the official Olympic accreditations given to athletes and coaches were treated like visas, and for ticket holders, "there were mechanisms in place" to ensure they had visas in time to travel.
"At this point those details are being worked out, but traditionally host governments will work with the organizing committee to facilitate and streamline entry into the country for their Olympic guests," he added.

Oh, and you might wanna post that in the "General Omnibus/Hardcover" thread as well, seeing as they have books like Green River Killer for $9.

Wow, between the CGN 55% off sale and TFAW having 70% off Woman of Marvel ($37.50) and Evolutionary War ($22.49), it is a great time to add some Omnibus titles to your collection.
In fact now that I see that CGN can have a 55% off sale, I will just wait for future sales from them to get most titles. Just need to keep an eye out for new titles that might go OOP quickly.

My copy of Fatal Attractions arrived yesterday and for the most part it looks great! Two questions:
1 - My copy has a printing error on pages 493 - 496 where the pages are still partially joined and folded over (pics below for anyone who's curious). I'm sure I'll have no probs getting a replacement or partial refund, but out of curiosity, did anyone else have this?
2 - The quality of the colour reproduction on Uncanny #315 looks a little bit below par compared to the other issues, and this is something I'm afraid of with the Age of Apocalypse Omnibus, which uses similar colouring techniques in the original issues. Can anyone who has Fatal Attractions and Age of Apocalypse tell me if the AoA Omni has similar quality reproduction?
Other than that though, I'm really enjoying it.
My comic collection. Go on, have a look. You know you want to .

Because your Creative Suite applications are installed directly on your computer, you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis. However, you will need to be online when you install and license your software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
This answer seems to be incorrect. I have experienced continual problems opening Adobe application since I subscribed to Creative Cloud and many times the error indicates that I ma not connected to the internet even though I have a good internet connection recognized by all of my other applications. I have opened support tickets and I have received no help.
I'm experiencing the same errors, even when I am connected to the Internet.
Adobe clearly has no intention of addressing this issue as evidenced by the telephone support person who hung up on me and the failure of anyone in this venue to offer any help. The forum indicates that this is a widespread issue. Is Adobe even making an attempt to support these obvious problems with Creative Cloud?
Sorry to hear about your difficulties Gary. I found this support document that might help.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-i ssues.html
I do not expirience any activation problems, however (even when connected) I get a message that the Trial has run out and I need to sign in to my account over and over again. This is not as annoying when I do have my internet connection, however I'm doing a lot of presentations and demos when I travel and I do not always have an internet connection. Above that - I've noticed that this causes Premiere to freak out and not open projects with the error "no preset found" or something like that (as I've seen on the forums - this Premiere issue is known as "back to trial" problem)
I've also been experiencing the erroneous behavior of the CC licensing scheme. The applications continue to behave as if in "trial" mode. There are dialogs to reboot the computer, occassional dialogs to enter a serial number, and generally confusing language in the authentication dialog. As buggy as this is currently, (and there are plenty of users experiencing and documenting the problem) Adobe is not even close to meeting Kim's statement about how this is "supposed" to work.
At what point after years (decades) of owning and licensing Adobe products and having an Adobe profile am I "trusted" Speaking for myself I'd much rather pay for a whole year in one shot if that would mean I don't have to endure these superfluous, and at the moment, erroneous checks. The authentications are not occuring once a month, but almost every time a CC app is launched.
The Adobe support person I talked to last week in India was uniformed on these issues. Rather than being helpful and seeking to document an issue he had not yet encountered, he seemed intent on explaining that what I was seeing couldn't happen... if support is not trained to recognize that Adobe software can and does have many bugs, it is not worth my time to endure the 30-minute wait time, horrible smooth jazz track that repeats endlessly and the oft-promised "this call may be recorded for purpose of quality control"
Some of us still make a living with your software Adobe. I don't have hours to spend on the phone convincing your contractors that things are NOT going according to their script. Nor can I rely on Creative Cloud when I'm off on assignment, often with sketchy connectivity, to work without interruption. These problems are easily solved if you would engage with some of us. I actually live within 1-mile of your San Jose HQ and would happily come over one morning and explain how you can resolve this problem in UI terms and in the way you deal with customers.
I used to be able to rely on Adobe support for answers to very rare issues. These days the problems are more common and the support is abysmal. And here's what I AM going to do about this. Every time I open a CC cloud app and encounter these problems I'm going to tweet the problem, every time until this is fixed. I hope others here will do the same.
Hi, I agree with you and encounter the same annoying problem every time I quit an app, like eg Illustrator CS6. When I reboot the app, it says I will have to buy a license, since the trial period stopped (I have a year subscription). I tried to never quit the CS6-apps, but I have to use CS4, CS5 and CS6, so this is not an option. This cloud-behaviour is especially irritating, since I teach, using a beamer: every student witnesses this clumsy behaviour of the cloud software.
Adobe clearly has no intention of offering any real help with this. Thier support techs claim they can't call me even though they have called me before and I get calls on my line all day every day from others. It seems that all Adobe can offer are lame excuses or blatant denial.
same here. Continual problem, treating my 'Cloud' like it is only a trial download that will run out if I don't renew license.
I thought Cloud was supposed to make our life easier and allow us to work for 30 days without constantly loggin in to our Adobe accounts ...
much less having Cloud revert to a 'Trial' ...
I see several posts with the same issue
Cloud has reverted to trial that will expire if we do not license.
Cloud was supposed to make our life easier, and work for * 30 days * without even being logged in to our account.
It is supposed to require only monthly activation,
For the product launching in trial mode and the Acrobat X launch giving a 130:11 error please see the following document
Trial screen displays on launch with -1 days | CCM, CS6
Installing the latest version of Adobe Application Manager resolves this issue. A link to the latest versions is in that document or now you can also get the latest version by simply launching Adobe Application Manager from the Start Menu (Windows) or alias in the Applications folder (Mac)
I have the monthly subscription. Occasionaly I get the message that I have not activated my software. I then go to control panel and uninstall the software. Next I go to the cloud and install the software. This happens frequently on my windows machine. My second machine is a macbook pro. I will start trying the software on it to see if I have the same problem
It is totally unacceptable that I can't use the previous versions of Adobe applications after subscribing to Creative Cloud.
I have a previous version of CS on my macbook pro. I went to the applications folder and clicked on flash CS4. It came up just fine.
there licensing and verication issues are very very basic! did no one test this concept before it launched as public product? I've been in software and projects for many years, and this screams that it was launched on the demanded launch date, even if it didn't work!! it looks pretty sad. i love adobe products, and have for years, but this is very scary and sad.
As a working professional I'm finding that Creative Cloud both frustrating & embarrassing
imagine being called to a clients office to do some product retouching and finding that without
a reliable internet connetion that the product that I DO pay for WILL NOT WORK, and to put to bluntly
if the software that makes me a living won't work, then I can't either.
I would think that CS6 sould be able to run for at least a week without checking in, not everywhere in
the world has San Jose internet speeds, I often go to places where the best you'll get is 50~150kbs
and at a few times a year places where there is NO NET ACCESS AT ALL.
I have licensed cs5/5.5 products on my big PC and have removed cs5/5.5 from my laptop and both
suffer the log on 2-4 times a day.
It is VITAL that this issue is fixed
It's clear from the multitude of support issues being discussed on this forum that Creative Cloud is not ready for commercial release.
For any cloud version of a professional application to be acceptable to users, there has to be a 100% confidence that the app will work wherever you are.
Every time, without fail.
Online or offline.
No exceptions.
I had ordered Creative Cloud and have returned the product for a refund.
It would be professional suicide to have the package stop working when I'm out in the field or speaking in front of an audience.
I agree there appears to be some validation and verification issues and the "every 30 days license validation" is broken. I hope these issues will be resolved soon. i have not seen any acknowledgement from Adobe that there is a problem. just referral to the FAQ that says everything is "fine". I too want to subscribe, so lets get this fixed. please. Lynn
Adobe has got to get this fixed! The once every 30 day validation is nice, but please give customers something like a 15 day grace period or check 15 days before expiration to give customers an early warning to connect to the network. Give a paying loyal customer some time to connect to the network is reasonable, but no immediate shutdown please. That is not the way to treat a paying and long-time loyal customer. Customers don't want to find out they can't run the software they paid for just after they boarded a long international flight, or have an internet outage due to storms, etc... We just had massive storm outages in the North East US, and this included taking out internent and some cell towers with 3G internet access too.
I had to go through more daily updates and applications not working at critical times this week. Adobe is clearly doing nothing to help. This is taking hours and days of my time to deal with.
That's just freakin' GREAT when the software decides to "alert" me that it's time to do a @#$%&*!!! "license status check" while I'm on a gig with no internet connection! There I stood with the client glaring at me, fumbling with my phone trying to set up some kind of ad hoc internet connection so I could open AE! No option to defer the so-called status check, just a firm, vertical middle finger from the software I *PAID* for!!!
Thank you very little, Adobe. I hope I get the chance to repay you with similar inconvenience, embarrassment and annoyance some day.
Did that really happen?
That would really concern me.
I'd like to buy into Creative Cloud, but a single incident like the one you described is a zero-tolerance event.
When I'm offline with the software, that's exactly the time it absolutely cannot ditch, because that's the time I'm teaching in front of 300 people or am in the field without the resources to remedy the situation. Sometimes I'm away from the internet for a couple of weeks at a time.
When a user uses the software offline, the very worst that should ever happen is a"Please log on to Adobe.com and sign in within the next 30 days." Even that is a bit tight if you're on a field trip.
To be viable, the Cloud system has to be absolutely 100% fail-safe for users.
Maybe on the month to month, but if you signed up for the full year, I think that they shouldn't have the check-in til you are close to the end of your subscription period, as long as you are current on the monthly payment.
Yes, Adobe, listen to this suggestion! You have a yearly commitment, please don't shut down without warning every month; or, seemingly, every time there is a brain fart at Adobe.
Adobe has an updated version of the Adobe Application Manager which resolves the issue where launching CS5 products causes CS6 products to revert to trial mode and need to be relicensed. This updated version will get installed automatically when launching AAM in the very near future, but if you are interested it getting it immediately it can be download and installed from the links below.
Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update
You're welcome
I have to login every time too. If my internet access is down I'll be dead in the water, I won't be able to work at all. Since I live in the mountains this unfortunately is a somewhat regular occurence. Not good at all. Fix it Adobe.
I'm a contract designer. I use my own laptop (with CS6 creative cloud subscirption). Today I was working for a large organisation so I couldn't get access to the internet. When I tried to open Photoshop I was presented with a message saying that my subscirption has expired. I couldn't open any of my creative suite applications. I was using them all at home the night before when I had an internet connection.
Considering earlier this week Adobe politlely took my monthly subscription I was left feeling extreemly frustrated and seriously out of pocket. I LOST MONEY. I'm a fully paid up customer and I couldn't use the products and services that I HAVE PAID FOR.
Can I invoice you Adobe for the money I've lost? Perhaps I should have a chat with my Lawyer. This is wrong!
Adobe your payment system is flawless. You have no technical issues what so ever when it comes to taking my money. HOWEVER when it comes to delivering the products that people are paying for you are NOT providing an acceptable service. I'm constantly recieving messages telling me that my subscription has expired or my trial period is up. It's a horrible user experience and diabolical customer service. Every time I open CS6 and get one of those messages I feel like I've been ripped off and today I really have.
Adobe are you going to do anything about this?
What a way to end the week.
Thanks alot.
I look forward to hearing when the requirement to have an internet connection to use Cloud provided products is addressed.Until then I will continue with the retail products. Thank you all who have posted here and saved me a similar fate.
This is still an issue. I installed CC last month, and installed PS. When my credit card was charged for the subscription renewal this month, PS application kept telling me my subscription is about to expire, which it eventually did. During the final three days of the subscription, I chatted with agents (getting different answers) and did a lot of research myself. I finally just uninstalled PS and reinstalled it. It seems to be working OK, but I do NOT want to have to go through this every month!
A guy from Adobe had me completely disable my anti-virus and firewall (temporarily), and then do an update through the Adobe Application Manager. After that I haven't had to constantly connect to Adobe to activate. Good luck.
CC is installed on a corporate laptop, so I can't disable any anti-virus or firewall software. PS appears to be working fine right now. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to troubleshoot subscription issues...what works for one subscriber, won't work for the next one. One of my coworkers who is having the same issue was told by a support agent to "use the software manager application to install any other CC software application that you don't currently have installed." She did that, and it worked for her, but not for me. What I would like Adobe to do is to acknowledge the problem, post something on the site about it or send CC subscribers an email suggesting various work-arounds until the issue is solved.

True to her word, under Acting Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn, the FCC has released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on AM revitalization.
Clyburn promised quick action on the issue at the Radio Show, and then the government shutdown stalled everything for 17 days.
The action late Thursday comes just before Tom Wheeler is set to take over the chairman's chair at the agency.
Ajit Pai, who originally took up the AM cause, said the NPRM kicks off a "landmark" effort by the FCC to "energize the nation's oldest broadcasting service."
In the item, the agency proposes short- and long-term strategies for improving the AM service. In the short term, the commission proposes eliminating the so-called "Ratchet" rule, which effectively requires that an AM broadcaster seeking to make facility changes that would modify its AM signal demonstrate that the improvements would result in reduced skywave interference to other AMs. The FCC and AM experts agree the rule has actually had the opposite effect. The FCC also tees up modifications to the daytime and nighttime community coverage rules for existing AMs, something engineers and owners have long proposed.
Also up for discussion is allowing more implementation of Modulation Dependent Carrier Control technologies, which save energy costs, and modification of AM antenna efficiency standards.
Perhaps most importantly, the agency seeks public input on a special window in which to allow AMs to seek new FM translators. We reported at the Radio Show that AM advocates were strongly supportive of this option.
Pai said based on talks he's had with broadcasters over the past year, he's convinced the proposals can make a "substantial, positive difference" to many AM stations.
The commission also seeks input on long-term proposals to help the AM service, long plagued by interference and a perception of fewer listeners. "What steps can the commission take so that there will be a vibrant AM radio service 10 or 15 years from now?" Pai asked. He hopes broadcasters, engineers and anyone else with an interest in AM radio will submit creative ideas to the commission.
Comments to MB Docket 13-249 are due 60 days after Federal Register publication.
Can anyone tell me about how much cost is involved in purchasing and installing an FM Translator? I'm tiring to help a family owned AM from going out of business and from what I'm reading off the blogs is this new proposal could save lots of AM stations that have been in the red for years!

Oakland >Food & Dining > Home Of Chicken & Waffles
444 Embarcadero W, Oakland, CA | Directions 9460737.795345 -122.276004
Open Sunday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to midnight, Friday and Saturday until 4 a.m.
Neighborhoods: Produce and Waterfront, Downtown Oakland
Excellent fry job on the chicken. Waffles are mighty tasty too.
racism? – OK, this review is not of the food, because I could not get in the door. Several parties were taken ahead of mine. I am white, my husband is asian. You do the math.
*Hella* good, but don't be in a rush. – The only drawback about this place when I went was that there weren't enough staff on hand to handle the post-game crowd. The owner was our server and he was very cool to us. The food here is excellent, even by inherently tasty soul-food standards, and I can't put one dish above another because everything is delicious and generously portioned.
Very Surprised!!! – Being born and raised in the Bay Area, and trying serveral ethnic cuisines Soul Food is one I just never got around to try. I just happened to stumble upon Chicken N' Waffles one lazy Sunday afternoon.... and it was a great new experience I would revisit. I would even to go to JL Square just to try something new on the menu. Mimi's plate was a great first experience...esp. if you are a lover of Macaroni N' Cheese. I wish I would of tried Soul Food a lot sooner than I did. Great Food, and Restuarant. The Sounds of Motown in the background took the cake for me.
A Disappointment – I had high hopes, and was looking forward to some good soul food, but was sorely disappointed. The fried chicken and collard greens weren't bad, but the rest of the food was very sub-par. Avoid the red beans (tasteless) and corn bread (dry). I ordered macaroni and cheese and after waiting 25 minutes was told that they were all out. I tried to substitute a waffle and they refused (hence leaving me with the tasteless red beans). Overall, I would not recommend this place.
great establishment – I ordered a large order to go for a school event & it turned out to be a great experience. While I had to wait a little longer than I'd anticipated, it was worth the wait. The food was really good and the people who worked there were extremely friendly. I was very pleased with the way I was treated and the quality of the food.
Food = Fantastic - Service = Acceptable – I ordered a breast of chicken, waffle, and grits. I also ordered red beans and rice - the food was delicious. I'd definately go back, but the service was slow. We waited several minutes for our menus and water to be brought to us. We ended up having a really great male server come and take our order. When we got him, the service was acceptable.
The prices seemed high for the sides - the small cup of red beans and rice was $3.25, for instance, but the meals seemed to be reasonably priced. Their location right at the corner of Embarcadero and Broadway is expensive rent, I'm guessing.
I'd go back, though - the chicken was moist and tender, cooked perfectly, and the waffle was very fresh and tender, but could have been crispier. Those red beans and rice, while smallish portion-wise, were so tasty.
Hipsters and soul-food junkies get their late-night fix of crispy fried chicken and syrup-slathered waffles at this homey diner. – In Short
This colorful eatery, painted in lavender and yellow with bright blue upholstered booths, is a popular spot for comfort food. The draw is such combos as the Homeboy, which offers three moderately battered, yet still crispy, chicken wings and golden waffles topped with mounds of whipped butter. Side dishes include sugary candied yams, moist cornbread and chunky potato salad. Desserts are equally hearty, like the sweet potato pie.

RIDGWAY – For those who have raised it, made it and grown it, it's time to show it at the 2009 Ouray County Fair, which will be held at the county fairgrounds in Ridgway, Sept. 3-5. This year's events include the 4-H horse show, antique tractor pull, livestock show and sale, and new this year, a pie-baking contest. And don't forget to catch the action-packed events of the Labor Day Rodeo on Sept. 6 and 7.
This year's fair them is "Raise it, make it, grow it, but don't forget to show it!" And there will be plenty of opportunity to see what folks in Ouray County have been working on in a wide variety of categories.
The weekend's festivities will start on Thursday with the 4-H horse show beginning at 10 a.m. at the arena in front of the grandstands. There are 22 horses entered into this year's fair for judging in either Western or English divisions.
There will also be timed events that include barrel races, pole bending, flag racing and keyhole.
On Thursday evening at 6 p.m., over 35 tractors that were built before 1958 will compete in the antique tractor pull. Members of the Thunder Mountain Flywheelers will be bringing their antique machines to Ridgway to see how much weight they can still pull and how far they can pull it.
John Yates, past president of Thunder Mountain Flywheelers, said it is a great event, to see all of these tractors in one place – some of them coming from as far as Grand Junction.
"Some of the tractors were built in the early 1930s and we have a cut off of 1958 to participate," Yates said. "I really enjoy seeing the camaraderie with these members who are getting out and having fun with these old machines."
There will be food and beverages for sale during the tractor pull.
On all three days of the fair, open class contestants will be exhibiting their arts, photography, floriculture, produce, and needlecrafts. In fact, this year's competition has been expanded with new open class entries that include categories in baked, canned and dried foods, as well as fancy work and crafts, cake decorating, and leather working.
All open class entries must be registered on Thursday between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. For a full listing of open class categories, pick up the 2009 Fair Book at the 4-H Event Center.
New to the fair this year will be a special pie-baking contest, which is sponsored by the Galloping Goose Restaurant. There will be cash prizes for both the Best of Show Junior ($25) and Senior ($50) divisions. All first place awards will receive a special pie server.
Pie entries should be delivered to the 4-H Event Center during the open class registration on Thursday.
All pie entries must be presented with a recipe and upon approval of the contestant, the recipes will be published in a book after the fair to raise funds for future prizes and fairs.
"The pie-baking contest and all the other booths are exactly what the fair is all about…to show things off," Fair Board Vice President Duane Beamer said on Tuesday.
This year's fair will also see the largest number of animals and species of animals in the livestock show in Ouray County fair history. The 4-H livestock show will be held on Friday and Saturday, with the livestock sale beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
This year there are 23 entries in the poultry division, 13 entries in the goat division, 13 entries in the sheep and lamb division, 25 in swine, 13 steers and heifers, plus bucket calves, two yaks, and a rabbit division.
"The barn will be totally full with animals," Beamer said. "We had pretty good numbers last year but this year is the highest we have had in the number of different species. It is really nice to see these numbers up. It's great for the whole community."
Don't miss the round robin showmanship, which includes the champions of the 4-H Dog Show, at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon with the parade of champions following at 3:15 p.m.
"Every year, the contestant list grows and so there are more and much larger exhibits," Fairgrounds Manager Susan Long said. "There are more animals, more open class entries and now we have a pie-baking contest for 2009, too. I am sure this year will be a great fair."
As if the events of the fair weren't enough, Sunday marks the beginning of the two-day Labor Day Rodeo at the fairgrounds with the rodeo starting at 1 p.m. on Sunday and the annual Fireman's Ball getting underway at 9 p.m. at the Ridgway Fire House.
Celebrate Labor Day with the rodeo parade beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday at Sherman Street in downtown Ridgway and a barbecue at Hartwell Park beginning at 11 a.m. The final day of the rodeo will begin on Monday at 1 p.m.
If you aren't showing, make sure to get out to the 2009 Ouray County Fair this weekend to support the kids and exhibitors. For exact times of all demonstrations, contact Long at 626-3304.

Fedora 15 "Lovelock" Unleashed
Red Hat's community distribution Fedora is available in version 15, which includes many new features.
The new Fedora release sports Gnome 3.0 on the desktop, KDE plasma workspaces 4.6 and Xfce 4.8 alternative desktop environments, Btrfs file system as a menu item, Firefox 4, and the LibreOffice productivity suite.
Sys admins will like the dynamic firewall, systemd system and session manager, and BoxGrinder appliance creator. Developers will find programming language updates, the Robotics Suite, GCC 4.6, and Maven 3.
More details are in the Announcement and the Release Notes.
Fedora 15 confident of a good releasehi all Linux Fans. I am a long time Fedora and OpenSuSe user from many years ago. For me, if I want to get serious work done, and a bit of play as well, both suit fine. I am confident that F15 will be a good, possibly bordering on great release. I have used F12 with updates, until F14 was released am running F13 with updates as a workhorse machine ATM.
Given Fedora's excellent track record on QA from F10 + (i have used all releases since then) I think and I hope that F15 will be a stable, and fast release.
I know that many have commented on GNOME 3 and the rights/wrongs of it I won't judge it until I've used it. Will give it couple of months for updates as well, before I make up muy mind.
All the best to my fellow Linux fans!.

Canada Geese
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has made rough estimates of the numbers of Canada geese at the Lab at between 15000 and 18000 during the height of the migration season. The large areas of warm water and abundant forage and open spaces make Fermilab an ideal haven for geese during the winter. Although Canada geese are protected, they tend to be aggressive and in such large numbers, they can have a depressing effect on populations of other waterfowl.

If God isn't a Wildcat fan, then why do I bleed Red and Blue?
I know SDSU is good and they deserve to stay in the west but I just don't see them sticking there. Besides, the tourney selectors hate putting teams that played each other in the same bracket if they can avoid it and this could be easily avoided by swapping SDSU with Mich St. Then again I don't know why the hell I care at all in the beginning of February when our team is different from last week.
Wouldn't be mad at that bracket at all. SDSU as a 2 seed and Creighton as a 3 seed would be to Arizonas advantage in my opinion.
that bracket is favorable
Theres good, and there's ARIZONA good..
The difference is VAST
looks like Oregon needs a big time win
I lied. A sweet 16 matchup with Louisville is pretty scary... Thankfully it would be in Anaheim
6 Pac teams, eh?
Creighton, SDSU, Louisville, Iowa State the bumps in the road, maybe UMass and OK

The Best Czech Biker Jaroslav Kulhavý Encourages Donating Blood (Translation)
30 July 2010
Prague, July 29, 2010 - The second year of the Company for Transfusive Medicine and the Birell brand's project to support giving blood, which is happening right now, is called Become a Blood Donor! and is being supported by a famous Czech sportsman, Jaroslav Kulhavý, European and Czech champion in cross-country biking.
Despite an increase in voluntary donors in 2009, there are still over 128,000 donors wanted in the Czech Republic. That's why the Company for Transfusive Medicine, Czech Medical Association of J.E. Purkyně, with the cooperation of the Birell brand arranged the Become a Blood Donor! project for the second year. The goal of this project is to attract new regular donors.
Support for this project comes from the new European and Czech Republic biking champion, Jaroslav Kulhavý. "People should realise that blood is regularly needed in hospitals and to give blood can save life. All of those who don't know anything about giving blood can go to www.stansedarcem.cz where they will find all the necessary information, and they can give blood in one of 45 participating hospitals," says Jarda Kulhavý. "After the sports season is over, even I will participate and of course give blood too," he added. The sports season for the top biker will end in the fall.
Starting July 12 for about one month, everybody who comes into one of the participating hospitals and gives blood will receive a refreshing can of non-alcoholic Birell beer.
Jarda Kulhavý, 25, represents the young, active generation which makes up the biggest group that is suitable for giving blood. The decrease in both first-time givers and regular donors in this category during recent years is most alarming. The group of currently registered donors is getting older and there are no newcomers. This trend needs to be changed and it is important to convince as many people as possible to become new voluntary donors. Become a Blood Donor! is therefore supposed to remind us of the persisting lack of voluntary donors and is supposed to attract new donors.
For a long time, the Birell brand has been supporting both giving blood and biking, with Birell cooperating directly with Jaroslav Kulhavý. Recently they have started a second series of cycling school videos in the form of twelve episodes. The idea is to prepare both amateurs and cycle enthusiasts for cycle marathons.

April 24, 2014
February 3, 2013
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - State workers, public educators and Virginia's disabled are big winners in House and Senate budgets advanced by the budget-writing committees of Virginia's General Assembly.
But a partisan spat erupted Sunday in the Senate Finance Committee, where Democrats objected that the budget would not expand Medicaid. Republicans expressed concerns that a deadlock in the evenly divided Senate later this week could weaken the chamber's position in budget negotiations with the House.
State employees, school teachers and support staff, college faculty and local constitutional officers would receive a pay raise of 3 percent on average. That's 1 percent larger than the previous proposal.

Sliding Filament Model of Contraction
Muscles contract when sarcomeres shorten. The thin and thick filaments that compose sarcomeres do not shorten; instead, they slide past one another, causing the sarcomere to shorten while the filaments remain the same length. The sliding filament theory of muscle contraction is the binding of myosin to actin, forming cross-bridges that generate filament movement .
Process of Movement
Myosin is a molecular motor that acts like an active ratchet. Chains of actin proteins form high tensile passive 'thin' filaments that transmit the force generated by myosin to the ends of the muscle. Myosin also forms 'thick' filaments. Each myosin 'paddles' along an actin filament repeatedly binding, ratcheting, and letting go, sliding the thick filament over the thin filament.
- ATP binds to myosin and is hydrolyzed by ATPase into ADP and phosphate. The energy released by this process activates the myosin head and cocks it into a high-energy, extended position.
- The cocked myosin head binds to a newly-exposed active site on the thin filament, generating a cross-bridge between actin and myosin.
- Myosin releases the ADP and phosphate, returning to a low-energy position, pulling the thin filament along; this movement is called a power stroke. Shortening occurs when the extensible region pulls the filaments across each other (like the shortening of a spring). Myosin remains attached to the actin.
- The binding of ATP destabilizes the myosin-actin bond, allowing myosin to detach from actin. While detached, ATP hydrolysis occurs, "recharging" the myosin head. If the actin-binding sites are still available, myosin can bind actin again.
- The collective bending of numerous myosin heads (all in the same direction), combine to move the actin filament relative to the myosin filament. This results in muscle contraction.
Contraction in all Sarcomeres
The sarcomere consists of a central bidirectional thick filament flanked by two actin filaments, oriented in opposite directions. When each end of the myosin thick filament ratchets along the actin filament with which it overlaps, the two actin filaments are drawn closer together. The A-bands contract toward the I-bands, thereby shortening the I-band as the myosin overlaps with the actin. Thus, the ends of the sarcomere are drawn in and the sarcomere shortens. Sarcomeres are connected by so-called 'Z-lines', which anchor the ends of actin filaments in such a way that the filaments on each side of the Z-line point in opposite directions (with reversed polarity). When a muscle fiber contracts, all sarcomeres contract simultaneously so that force is transmitted to the fiber ends.

Cary >Food & Dining > Jimmy V's Steakhouse and Tavern
107 Edinburgh S Dr, Cary, NC | Directions 2751135.736764 -78.797926
Mon. - Thu. 5pm - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 5pm - 11pm;Sun. CLOSED
can't recommend on any measure – I was reluctant to make the trip and now I wish we would have gone to any other restaurant. We were a small but quiet group and it seemed like one big train wreck of an experience for each and every one of us.
Here is what I must say:
1. A single small glass of house wine was over $13. It was $10 + tax + the bartender added gratuity at 20%. It is a giant rip-off. How can you do that to hosts, guests and patrons?
2. I ordered their signature larger cut of bacon-wrapped filet. It came out with a wood stick labeled 'medium' but I had ordered it well. I waited for the waitress to come back and she looked at me as if I was crazy for not cutting into it- I thought given the stick label maybe they accidentally switched mine with someone else's and therefore was willing to wait to even touch it- well she then followed it up with "it is probably just the wrong stick." Well it wasn't. It was red, not even pink, on the inside. Butterfly it for all I care, just understand the commonsense that someone who doesn't order meat with any pink won't like it red. It went back and must have been put under a heating lamp or popped in the microwave, as it returned the exact same. The funny thing was it took forever and everyone else was over halfway done before I ever had the chance to start eating my entrée. Anyway, at this point you would have thought I ordered it blackened. I just ate the outside and left the majority of it, blood red, on the plate. No one ever came by; no one ever questioned the blatantly obvious.
3. Throughout the entire night a waitress would always chew her nails by the water ledge in the corner. All her fingers would literally go inside her mouth and then she would only stop when bothered. I was disgusted. This is unacceptable. Period. Where is the management??
4. When we asked for checks there was still food we were working on. When the checks came we were literally still chewing and the plates were taken right from under us. We left upset.
I know I won't be back. None of us ladies will. We should have had a memorable night for the better, not worse.
How does this place stay in business? – A very overpriced restaurant that serves food that tastes like it came out of the freezer. We ordered the Charred Rare Beef appetizer. My husband said it tasted like what raw Steak-Umm probably tastes like. I couldn't eat it either. Just tasted like raw stringy meat. Awful. Then we each ordered the Caprese Salad. Another disappointment. Tomatoes were not fresh and the mozzarella cheese tasted like something from the Wal-Mart grocery. The dressing was terrible too. I've had better salad dressing at the Carolina Ale House. The bread that was brought out with the salad was like garlic bread that was pre-frozen and heated. I mean it was a complete joke. My husband ordered a glass of house red wine. Terrible. Wasn't fresh. Any small $3 box wine at the grocery store would have been better than the wine he ordered. We didn't order anything else. It is a million wonders that this place is still in business serving such poor quality food at outrageous prices. What is the deal with serving a bowl of salty olives with pits for one to "snack on" as you're waiting for the appetizer. Strange. I mean the whole experience was laughable. This was our first time and will be our last.
Worst restaurant experience in a LONG time. – Based on their website we expected JimmyV's to be comparable to Sullivans, The Angus Barn or Ruth Chris. In retrospect, we should have selected any of those restaurants. My husband took me the JimmyV's for my birthday. I ordered their rib eye medium rare. When it arrived the rib eye was only medium rare in the center, the rest was medium well. Sent it back. Changed to Prime Rib. I told the waitress that if it was not medium rare I did not want it. So someone other than the waitress brings a medium towards medium well slice of prime rib to the table and suggested that I just cut into it to see. Anyone that eats prime rib knows that if it is not the correct color on the outside the inside is no better. (if this was an exception rather than the rule for them that slice of Prime Rib would have never left the kitchen. In a good restaurant, regardless of their prices, poor quality food does not leave the kitchen.) I refused and sent it back. So I had creamed spinach for my birthday dinner. My husband ordered a New York strip medium and it was slightly over cooked so he ate his. The waitress did not pre-bus the salad plates nor did she remove my creamed spinach side dish. Never offered desert or coffee. After all of this the manager never came by to talk to us and they did not even comp my iced tea which again tells me this is the "norm" for them.
Going downhill fast! – My husband and I eat here 2-3 times per year, usually on the rare occasion that we can get a kid-free night. Last night, it was apparent that things are going downhill fast. The one highlight of the night was our server, Jess - she was great! We started with the hot crab dip which has always been our favorite. Not this time. It was tasteless and had a consistency like oatmeal or grits. It was like they replaced the creaminess with some sort of tasteless, gritty filler. When we asked someone what's changed, we were told that there's a new chef. Our server checked with the chef who said it must be because they were using different crab - but the crab on my husband's fillet oscar was very good, which leads us to conclude it's the new chef. It wasn't broke - he never should have messed with a good recipe. We ordered crab cakes as a replacement appetizer and those were good (another reason to believe that the crab was not the culprit in the unfortunately change to the crab dip recipe) though the portion size was tiny compared to most other things on the menu. My filet, ordered medium, arrived raw. After taking it back to recook it, It was still very undercooked. Not wanting to wait longer, I ate it. On its own, it was just OK. The bordelaise (sp?) sauce with mushrooms made the steak. The manager did credit the full amount of my fillet, which we appreciated. Still, I don't think we'll be going back. This used to be one of our favorite places, but it sounds like they've made some poor hiring decisions among their new kitchen staff. What a shame!
Awful. Awful. Awful... Now. – Years back when we lived close by, this restuarant was pretty good for the most part and we were okay with spending our money there.
HOWEVER, a lot has changed in terms of quality and service (way down), management (is the manager 12?!), price (just ridiculous), decor (the one pro on the list)! The steak entrees are medicore at best, which is awful (again!) given their steep price increases and they really were their claim to fame.
I wish I would have read the other recent reviews before I took company there recently. At least I know I won't promote the establishment to friends or business or ever be back!
43 minutes to cook a filet!! – This was my first visit to Jimmy V's Steakhouse. We did not have a reservation, but were seated quickly. Now I know why. The server took our order. Our salads were good. Our steak and pork chop arrived 43 minutes after we received our salads. Yes, I timed it. The server said the manager apologized for the delay. My filet was cold, not warm, but cold when it was served!! The broccoli side dish was not steamed properly and was too hard. The hollandaise sauce had chilled to the point it was slow to pour. My friend's meal was okay. I told the server who offered to have it warmed. Why? Warming would have made it well done. I ordered a medium filet and received a medium well filet. I went on-line to the contact us section on Jimmy V's Steak House website and sent in a comment. No one responded. I mailed letters to the management of Jimmy V's. No response. This would explain the poor showing at the restaurant. Please avoid this place. I know I will.
Didn't honor reservation made through OpenTable – Made reservation using OpenTable. When reached at the restraurant, we were told that 'it will take a while to get a table'. There was no clear explanation on why they accepted my reservation on the first place. This was on Saturday evening, and I had to drive around a lot to find a place to eat!
Excellent Food & Service; Exquisite Party Room – We had a rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding at Jimmy V's. Kathie, the manager, along with Abbe and staff made the whole evening a very memorable one. I received numerous emails from guests about the wonderful dinner they had. The food, staff , room's decor and special set up created such a warm ambiance in the beautiful room that we had for the evening. We had 56 guests who had only praises for the whole event! Our deepest gratitude to Jimmy V's ...... Paul & Nancy Meyers
Decent steak OK – average steakhouse, prices high. Had better beef.
Ok atmosphere, good service. Decent wine list, heavy on Cabs. Prefer more depth and regions. Overall ok experience,
great for relatives.
DONT GO HERE – I have gone to many steakhouses in my day but I have to say I had the worst experience here.
The service was okay and the food was WAY overpriced.
My friend went with a co-worker earlier this year in February and left after being seated because he was appalled at the prices.
I checked it out myself and felt as though I have had better steak at Ruth's Chris.
